Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner (The National), Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) created an album that crossed genres -- a musical journey that allows us to cry and laugh, and during these trying times, makes us feel like we're not quite so alone. They recorded "folklore" thousands of miles apart from each other and had never been in the same room together... until now. "folklore: the long pond studio sessions" was filmed in upstate New York in September 2020 and will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Wednesday, November 25, at 12:01AM PT. Taylor, accompanied by co-producers Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff along with a guest appearance by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), performs each song in order of her critically adored, five star album, "folklore" and for the very first time, reveals the stories and secrets behind all 17 songs.

The often exquisite music is interspersed with alfresco chats with her co-writers and performers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner at Dessner's telegenic studio in upstate New York. Go to Full Review
Andrew Barker Variety 11/27/2020
With this film, she just does the two things she does best: making excellent music, and giving people a new reason to talk about Taylor Swift. But at least she's made sure that this time we're talking about her for all the right reasons. Go to Full Review

Does a good job showing her music and songwriting while still showing her growth as a politically minded individual Go to Full Review

A fitting document of a strange time in history - a moment when even the biggest pop star on Earth holed up and got cozy and insular. Go to Full Review
